Time Flies

This weekend we “spring forward” and lose an hour of sleep… and suddenly everyone becomes an expert on time. In this episode, we look at why Daylight Saving Time started in 1918, why Congress standardized it in 1966, and why a 2018 bill to end the clock changes still hasn't crossed the finish line. From energy savings to microwave clocks that never get reset, we explore the good, the bad, and the ridiculous truths about changing time—before landing on the reminder that the real value of an hour isn't what we lose, but what we do with the daylight that follows. Because life isn't the period… it's the comma.
